¡Buenos dias! Friday was a wild day, as the wind gauge at Rasta Beach (corrected for the 3-5 mph high bias there) showed sustained winds peaked in the low to mid 20 mph range from around noon until around 3 pm, with a peak gust of 33 mph. A midday satellite pass measured NW winds of only 10 knots over the Sea of Cortez near Cerralvo, so as we started to get some significant thin spots in the high overcast around noon yesterday, our local thermal added a full 15 mph or so onto the background flow…nearly twice what we normally see. A pass by an Oceansat satelllite around midnight last night measured 10-15 knot NW background flow just east of Cerralvo, and with infrared satellite loops early this morning showing clear skies ahead for today, we should see a significant thermal boost. Similar conditions are exected on Sunday, then the surface pressure gradient will begin to weaken on Monday, but we should see one more good day. Tuesday continues to look like a transition day to a light wind regime, with light onshore flow from Wednesday well into next weekend.
